Hum, then why would it work on my work machine?  I asked about this on
#debian@irc.debian.org yesteraday.  People who sucessfully use xawtv and 
xfree 4.0 also see dga related lines in /var/log/XFree86.0.log (mine doesnt
mention dga).  Another person mentioned that he had to explicitly enable dga
because its off by default, but I am unable to find any docs on how to do
that.  

from /usr/doc/xawtv/README.xfree4: 

XFree86 4.0 tips & tricks
=========================


DGA problems
------------

Release 4.0 has DGA turned off by default.  You'll have turn it on
in XF86Config, otherwise v4l-conf will not work correctly.  It should
work for most cards this way, althrouth some drivers don't handle DGA
correctly in 4.0 (that's why it is off...)

But it doesnt mention how to enable dga either.

Thanks,

Norbert
